JUST IN: Cowboys RB Zeke Elliott To Be The Featured Speaker At 2022 Rising Stars Luncheon

CANCELED: ChildCareGroup’s 120th Anniversary Celebration
It’s not every day a North Texas organization celebrates its 120th anniversary, so when the ChildCareGroup had to postponed its big anniversary event in September due to the Delta variant, fingers were crossed that the new date — Wednesday, January 12 — would work out for the celebration at the then-Belo Mansion (now Arts District Mansion).
